I may not agree with your taste in coffee, but I will defend to the dregs your right to swill it.

Just a sympathizer.

Does that mean that when they catch the perp are you going to file a "friend of the court" brief?

My bet is that an anti-capitalist group/individual did this.

i’m not sure I’d have any standing with the court. Would they accept a shiite kicker from Cow Hampsha?

It would be hard for an explosion to go off and NOT be near a Starbucks in that area......

I love the smell of coffee. I just don’t drink much of it, maybe two cups a month. I prefer tea.

No kidding. This may just be an accident. Bill Ayers probably stopped by for a latte, and forgot to grab his backpack on the way out.

“...The city has experienced other early morning explosions in recent years. Small explosions occurred at the British and Mexican consulates and at a military recruiting station in Times Square......


Have I not been paying attention or have the powers that be decided these explosions are the work of ‘ordinary’ criminals as opposed to acts of terrorism, however small scaled it might be?

Anti-capitalist, anti-bourgeoise, anarcho-commie, etc. Fits the enviro-whacko profile too, I’d bet.

But Starbucks is “one of them”. Certainly they wouldn’t turn on one of their own. /s

Does anyone know where that fruitcake with the comicbook collection who says he wants to visit every Starbucks in world was yesterday? I’m guessing he finally went over the edge because they wouldn’t give him a freebi.

I always thought Starbucks’ espresso tasted burnt.

That's because it is. Starbuck's roasts the heck out of its beans.
